A historical overview of Latino
enrollment in the community college is
presented. Thirty Latino occupational,
transfer, and non-credit students attending
an Oregon college were interviewed, examining
educational and familial background, and
college services as indicators of their
decision to pursue postsecondary studies at
the two-year institution. Results are
analyzed, supplemented by information from
local agencies and institutional data.
Findings indicate Latinos are drawn to
community colleges because of convenience,
accessibility, affordability, and variety of
programs offered. Recommendations based on
information gathered are provided to assist
community college leaders striving to better
serve this population. / Graduation date: 1994
